I really thought I had a doozy article for you this week, but about two days ago I sent it to two other writers for some editing and commenting and I was told "maybe it is just not ready yet" - yes it was long and maybe a bit rambly but it hit on a lot of controversial subjects, one of my editors said, "these are the kind of newsletters I love to see from you - but this one might be a little too controversial" - so back to the drawing board I go ... but this letter will see the light of day so stay tuned. In its stead I bring you another edition of "Wines You Need to Get".
